Dutch Court rules against arrest of US President: 'American Pol Pot' is welcome?
CORRUPT DUTCH JUDGE SAYS BUSH VISIT IS OK: NO ARREST ?
by Henk Ruyssenaars
Amsterdam - May 4th - 2005 - The FPF earlier published an item on the need to arrest Bush while visiting Holland coming week-end - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/ao5tc - And now the verdict has come and is as negative as expected.
International law and conventions are trampled underneath: the Netherlands through this judgement again confirms to be committing war crimes too, and supporting it by welcoming murderous perpetrators like Bush and Rice.
To better understand this, it's good to know that the former president of the 'Hooggerechtshof'' (High Court) in The Netherlands yesterday published a book, based on some decades of experience, concerning the corruption among crooked and politicized dutch judges. The basic theme is that you've got to be lucky to
find a judge who's not partial. According to the book - which hardly anybody speaks about - the whole judicial system in the Netherlands has to be redone. That's correct and the verdict below confirms this.
Bush is no 'opportunity' for any form of law?
Dutch judiciary uses 'the principle of opportunity', meaning that something is only done when an officer or judge decides to do something about it, if it's 'opportune'. In normal countries the 'legality principle' is used: one is legally obliged to act upon information concerning any form of illegality.
That's why in the Netherlands justice looks OK but is far from reality: there's one set of laws for the average people and the elite' doesn't care: they are the judges.
Concerning corruption one is sorry to say that the Netherlands already for decades is forced down the slope of criminal greed by it's neocon managers, and is totally comparable with extremely corrupt states like the United States and Israel, which form some kind of 'evil trinity' with Holland.

Because opinion in a country mostly for 95% is formed by the media, the compliant journalists are guilty too, that it's possible to invite an 'American Pol Pot' and applaud, instead of arresting the war criminal as all conventions the Netherlands has signed say we should. The media hardly even report the demonstrations going on: they are guilty by association.
And this is the result of Dutch shameless opportunism:
Court rules against arrest of US President
AMSTERDAM — A Dutch judge has ruled that US President George W. Bush can visit the Netherlands as planned this weekend and should not be arrested.
The ruling in a court in The Hague on Wednesday comes after a group of Dutch nationals lodged legal action against the State in the lead-up to Bush's visit.
The activists demanded that Bush be arrested or a court order issued to block his entry to the Netherlands due to "numerous, flagrant breaches of the Geneva
Convention".
However, the judge rejected the request on the grounds that such a refusal was a political matter and therefore not something the court could rule on.
Granting the request would also have had "far reaching consequences for relations between the Netherlands and the US," the judge said.
The request was lodged by several peace organisations and city parties, namely Haagse Stadspartij, The Hague's town party, the Stichting Haags Vredesplatform, Peace Platform Foundation the Hague, the Vereniging van Anti-Fascistische Oud-Verzetsstrijders Nederland, Union of anti fascism vets, the Vereniging van Juristen voor Vrede, and the Union of Lawyers for peace.
Several individuals living in The Hague were also involved.
The activists claim that Bush is responsible for countless civilian casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan, the torture of prisoners and the fact the US has refused to recognize the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Bush will fly into the southern Dutch city of Maastricht on Saturday night and stay at the nearby Château St Gerlach in Houthem.
On Sunday, he will attend a ceremony commemorating the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial at Margraten near Maastricht.
During his visit, Bush will meet with Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and Queen Beatrix before departing again later on Sunday.
